SCHOOL COUNSELING

School counselors are student advocates committed to facilitating student development in the areas of academic, personal/social, and college/career planning. Our counselors provide personalized support with a focus on addressing each student's individual needs and providing guidance to promote student wellness and success. Connecting students and parents with the information and resources needed to make informed decisions is our priority.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to encourage students to be responsible and productive members of society by providing an environment that fosters the social, emotional and academic development of all students.

With student success and wellbeing as our primary focus, we provide individual student planning, a school counseling curriculum, responsive services and system support and cover the three domains of student development: academic, personal/social and career.
